VH1’s annual Mother’s Day event, “Dear Mama”, was once again a huge success!

Hosted by Anthony Anderson and LaLa Anthony and performances by Jodeci, Robin Thicke, and Gladys Knight!

Celebrities in music, sports, and TV took a moment to honor their mothers with musical tributes and spoken word.

Adam Blackstone, CEO of BASSic Black Entertainment, was Musical Director for the show with a FULL #BBE band backing some of the top artists in music!

Check out a clip of some of the performances below!

Earlier this year, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced it’s list of 2017 Inductees. One of which included the legendary Tupac Shakur!

Tupac’s cohort Snoop Dogg  accepted the honor on behalf of the late artist and spoke very fondly of his former label mate.

So, while we may be here to celebrate one of music’s most prolific and outspoken artists as he’s rightfully enshrined as one of the greatest musicians to ever do it, I’m here to make sure that Pac is remembered the way he would have wanted to be: a strong black man who stood up. Not somebody who acted like a rapper, but as a human…That’s what made Tupac the greatest rapper of all time

Under the direction of Musical Director Adam Blackstone, the BASSic Black Entertainment band provided the music for the tribute to Tupac which included a performance by Alicia Keys!

The 2017 Oscars honored the TOP movies, actors, and actresses in Hollywood! Justin Timberlake was slated to open the show with his hit song from the movie Trolls, “Can’t Stop the Feeling”. Which was also nominated for Best Original Song.

Starting outside the Dolby Theater, a tux-rocking Timberlake danced and sang his way down the aisle to the stage, trailed by dancers in formalwear. As Timberlake danced his heart out onstage, the stars in the audience seemed to be enjoying a respite from the pre-awards tension: Jeff Bridges, Javier Bardem, Charlize Theron, Naomie Harris, Janelle Monáe, Brie Larson, Taraji P. Henson, and Octavia Spencer were among the actors caught on camera dancing. Timberlake also took a charming moment to cut a rug with wife Jessica Biel.

As “Can’t Stop the Feeling” came to an end, Timberlake shifted gears into one of his own favorite songs: “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers. (Timberlake has said that the 1977 R&B hit was a big influence on his Oscar-nominated song.)

The performance that had the audience dancing on their feet was musically directed by Adam Blackstone, CEO of BASSic Black Entertainment and fellow “Tennessee Kid”.

The 2017 NBA All-Star Game kicked off with a bang! A star-studded performance featuring Jidenna, Michael B. Jordan, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Darryl McDaniels of the iconic rap group “Run D.M.C.” The performance was skillfully planned and executed by The Legendary Roots crew!!

“We live in a culture that has always been obsessed with one age-old question: who’s the best?” the Roots’ Black Thought said opening the number — which the band created — setting up an era-by-era look at basketball’s greatest players and the sport’s development over time.

Adam Blackstone, BASSic Black Entertainment CEO, also contributed to the musical programming for this performance that had social media buzzing!
